Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion · Original poster
It does not tell you a lot about fixing them, other than using the diagnostic tester, how to reset, open/close in emergency, etc., it goes into really great detail about how everything works and what the components are.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

FS Porsche 911 996 Cabriolet/Coupe/Targa/Boxster roof/top manual This is a service school item, it covers how the roof/hardtop/soft top works for the 986 Boxster, 996 Carrera (Sunroof), Carrera Targa and Cabriolet. Actually Cayenne, too, but there isn't a lot there. 16 pages for the Boxster, 68 for the 996 Cab (about 25 are from the owner's manual, dicussing operation), six for the sunroof, 22 for the Targa, 15 for the Cayenne. 127 pages total. It does not tell you a lot about fixing them, other than using the diagnostic tester, how to reset, open/close in emergency, etc., it goes into really great detail about how everything works and what the components are. I scanned the contents of each section and then some detail pages from the 996 section. The Boxster section is about as thorough, the Cayenne is not. This is a factory publication, print date 9/2005. $80 US delivered, my email is cs8815 at aol dot com There are a lot of sectional views of the vaious components to the top, this says what the views are and then here are a couple of the views. More of the type of detail offered.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

........more Targa .......and the Cayenne

POST 3Original post

$80 - why don't you scan it and PDF it and I'll give you $5.00 for the file?? Seems fair to me.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
